In response to this ?ecological blindness,? Raymond Murphy examines the limitations of sociology that have resulted from this neglect.Humanity's success in manipulating nature destabilizes the natural support system of society on a planetary scale and, in turn, destabilizes all of society's institutions. Because the manipulation of nature has become so central to modern society, society, Murphy argues, can now be understood only in terms of the interaction between social action and the processes of nature. The growing awareness that social constructions unleash dynamic processes of nature?processes beyond human control that bear on social action?has the potential of radically transforming sociology. Sociology and Nature proposes the reconstruction of sociology in which nature does matters, developing a novel sociological approach that situates social action in its natural context.Human ecologySociologyPhilosophyEnvironmentalismHuman ecologyPhilosophySociologyEnvironmentalismSociology & Social HistoryHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCSocial ChangeHILCCHuman ecology.SociologyPhilosophy.Environmentalism.Human ecologyPhilosophy.Sociology.Environmentalism.Sociology & Social HistorySocial SciencesSocial Change304.2Murphy Raymond102325FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910170970803321Sociology And Nature1965170UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
